Pedestrian Access to Park and 27th Street

Reorient the Hospital onto Valencia

The “orphan blocks” of Valencia Street south of Cesar Chavez Street are nearly as wide as Cesar Chavez Street but
carry very little traffic, lead to the robust public transit on Mission Street and
are very underutilized. These two blocks of Valencia could become “St. Luke’s Boulevard.”

Build a New Hospital on Valencia

Build the new St. Luke’s and more professional offices on a combination of the Monteagle building,
the Solarium entrance and the end of Duncan Street, with a main entrance and ER on Valencia Street
to dead end into the loading dock

Calm Traffic

Block the awkward intersection at Valencia, Duncan and Tiffany to through-traffic.

Allow access to park

Build Housing on Valencia

Demolish the old 1957 ER building to build housing (senior, more assisted living) with an active
entrance on Valencia, next to the landmarked Moreton Fig (landmarked tree precludes parking below,
so Senior housing works well here).

Underground Parking

Create a Conference Center

Turn the historic Valencia building into a Conference center (put skylights on roof), with an ADA
accessible entrance through the housing on the site of the old 1957 ER building – café/kiosk and
flower shop on Valencia at base of steps. Offer reduced rates for community events and meetings.
